Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

*you're saying

And yes, I am serious, because I'm not just doing the same thing I'm running the various different sites and the roaming around to find sites is part of the interest as is trying to figure out how to cut down times and juggle everything. Level 4s, in comparison, are slow and tedious, probably because of the multiple spawn waves and the fact that I do those in a slow Battleship not a much faster cruiser that I can actually lose if I don't get DPS down fast enough.

Also I'm making *way* more ISK than a Venture, lol. I'm doing about 15-18 mil an hour before drops, and well over 30 after. Nothing compared to most higher end activities, but like I said part of the reward for me is the change of pace.

As for your last complaint, I agree but only sort of. This event is encouraging people to work together (I know several people who group up to do the sites because the completion is shared) the rewards are just kind of mediocre. That said, I'm not sure that a temporary event should have rewards so good that participation feels mandatory, which means these events shouldn't be pushing into carrier ratting or Incursion levels of ISK, at least not in High Sec.

Also keeping them accessible to newer players necessarily pushes the difficulty, and thus the reward value, down. Personally I'd rather see rewards go up in Low and Null, which provides that impetus for conflict, rather than encourage can theft in High Sec, which generally doesn't actually produce real conflict.

A few things:

500k plagioclase is a lot. It needs to be worth a lot more, and more than 24h. That's five full mackinaws, so it's an insane amount of ore. That, and Caldari/Gallente space, but time isn't as much of an issue for this one as it is for the Kernite one.
The 80k Kernite objective means you pretty much have to be running in Amarr space or near a Kernite anomaly, and there has to be a barge nearby ready to go. Travel time becomes an issue and a reason to not bother with it. It's doable with a small ship, though.
The high-count not-shipyard site objectives aren't worth running if you don't have a lot of time. There are so few, they will most likely time out before you finish them.
Quick-and-dirty simple objective: run any agent mission against Serpentis or Angels. Content already there, just needs to be put in.
Serpentis need to aggro drones and seriously threaten them. Having launch-drones-fly-toward-container be a viable tactic is just asking to get botted. Putting a slow smartbombing ship in the central group would make that slightly messier. At least then drone boats would need (choose): sentries, long-range guns, long-range missiles.
Angels need to drop stuff too.
I'd noticed the rats' behavior: if you fly straight and level long enough, most of them do too-and they even match speed for you. If you can out-DPS them, they're easy to gun down. They are kind of fun to chase with guns when they're after someone else.
The guard fleets need to be aggressive. We can mine and ignore them. Having them drop some loot wouldn't hurt.
The kill-guard objectives are a little undervalued. Finding one is usually the same difficulty as finding five, and they tend to all be dead.
There aren't any hacking objectives.

How to get better PvE design in general: ask players for designs of sites. We can come up with fun things, too.
Having the top-10 contest is... ugh. The last event at least gave us the choice of buying some of the chips to turn in for that contest. But here, chips don't count at all-it's all points, and there's no way around chainfacerolling the shipyards.

This would also be a good idea. They could add them to the Serpentis Data sites (then do the same for the other pirate factions as they get released).

Would like to say I don't mind running sites, but I really couldn't be arsed about the specific missions for the day. Result is I ran 10 of these figured out that earned me 0 reward and basicly wrote this off as a sub optimal use of my time.

The 'The Serpentis Shipyard and Research' event is rigged or at least there is huge holes in the code. I frequently see small ships just slide _IN_ to the vault while still protected and just sit there either hammering the open cargo button or just having it scripted (which, if you would want to, really is not hard to do if you have the cargo window open in the same spot on your screen).

It appears that you can actually 'park' right inside the vault and be untouchable while your able to fire at the hostiles. I tried a few times to park in these myself manually but that is just impossible so there can be only one conclusion and that is that there's a lot of bots or scripts out there.. It can't be a coincidence I see the same players do the same trick showing up in exactly the same spot in the vault every time.

You should not be able to fly into the vault and just sit there IMO..

Also agree with what was said earlier, there is not enough reward in the vault to begin with and frankly, salvaging/looting the debris afterwards can yield much more profit..

It s already implemanted, in soe arc if i remenber correctly you can remotely complete mission and pick up the next one. So yes,it s not a technical difficulty but a lack of interest from dev to expand the feature to all missions...

I would have to think more risk for profit events would include attacking Circadian Sleepers at Jove Observatories where the Capsuleer would have to gather Antikythera Elements similar to how the mining events take place.
